LavenDon't

While my brain is swimming with all the things on my kitchen 'to do' list, I thought I'd share a funny picture of the side of our kitchen that holds our sad, small refrigerator that cannot stay when we redo the room. Apparently, Boozie Susie tired easily while painting.

Which is my best explanation for why she painted only the inside of two cabinets with this awful color. Oh, and a little of the outside as well...

Don't you sometimes wonder if former homeowners do some of these crazy things right before they move out just to mess with the new owners?

"Hey, you know what we should do? Paint the inside cabinets this crazy purple color. Better yet? Only two of them. They won't know what the hell that means!"

By the way, you guys are SO quick with your projects. If you were living in my house, you would have so had our bathroom done by now. I'm a total slacker, but I bet you finish your kitchen in warp speed!

Please comment as often as you care to! You always have great advice! I'm really thinking about cream cabinets again. I love your idea of trying out a few different colors on two or three cabinets to make sure we've made the best decision. And seriously, I only had the 'eureka' beadboard moment today. Maybe I'm telepathically hearing your advice before you comment?

If I can have a house half as cute as yours, I'll be happy. All of your 'after' photos are so impressive!!

Second, You are not the only one with lavender interior cabinets! Every cabinet in my kitchen is painted lavender on the inside and the grout between our tiles is dirty, dirty lavender. I don't dare try to clean it as it might be made more purple.

I love purple. But lavender? In my kitchen??? I'll have to post about it and send you the link one of these days!

About Me

My name is Sara. I am a home owner/renovator, photographer, and stay at home mom in the Chicago area trying to cram all kinds of projects into the time my sons are at school. Ashford is 7, and our second baby Zach just turned 4, so things are pretty busy around here! I like slightly inappropriate humor, craft beer, and stalking house blogs. I love starting new DIY projects and sometimes hate finishing them. I love taking portraits of families, children and couples whenever I can. This blog is all about the projects my husband and I tackle, the projects that fizzle, and the funny things that happen to us along the way.
